Big eyes.......

I've identified this butterfly as a Large Skipper but I'm always happy to be corrected;  in my guide there are 8 Skipper butterflies and a couple of them would be easily identified but the rest all look very similar.  This is the first time this year I've seen Skippers and they're one of my favourites, I love the fact they're quite small and have such beautiful big eyes.  After seeing a couple of the brighter and more beautiful moths recently I'm considering having a moth trap but I don't know whether I should make my own or buy one  -  I shall have to investigate.

Thank you for stopping by and for the kind response to yesterday's blip.
